Bills would grant associate membership to spouses and siblings in the Military Order of the Purple Heart by Megan Luecke, Apr 16, 2008 (11:05pm)

Previously, only the parents and lineal descendants of a recipient of a Purple Heart medal could become associate members in the Military Order of the Purple Heart. However, if H.R. 1119 or H.R. 1027 becomes law, associate membership would be extended to siblings and spouses as well. H.R. 1119 and H.R. 1027 are essentially identical bills, but H.R. 1119 will probably become law and H.R. 1027 seems to be abandoned.
